Some people may not know what off-the-grid or off-grid means, so here it is --- The term off-the-grid or off-grid refers to living in a self-sufficient manner without reliance on one or more public utilities.

Off-grid living is no longer a one room log cabin in the woods. It's energy independency. You don't have to rely on utility companies, you create your own power. Today, there are more than 180,000 off-grid homes in the US.

Egg-cellent Layers...

Out of
10 laying hens, we are getting 7-10 eggs a day with an occasional double yolker
thrown in.

{Side note: We are now down to only 10 chickens. About two weeks ago we finally decided to get rid of Captain. No he didn't end up as chicken nuggets - he really did go to someone who was wanting a rooster. Two days after Captain left, one of the girls passed away - no really sure why. So that leaves us with 10 happy laying hens.}

Welcome

Have you ever dreamed of buying some property somewhere, to live a simpler, more sustainable life? We did, and we were crazy enough to do it.

Our family has chosen to live off-grid. We have purchased 22 acres in the foot hills of the Cascade Mountain Range in the Great Pacific Northwest. Our property is off-grid meaning we have no public utilities whatsoever.

With this blog we will let you know about our experiences in building our home off-grid and how the progress of that is going along with what off-grid living is like for us.
--- Enjoy!
